More Than 600 Benghazi Security Requests Never Reached Clinton’s Desk, But Reports on Libya from Her ‘Friend’ Did [ Full title ].

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton acknowledged to the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Thursday that of the more than 600 security requests related to Libya and Benghazi that came in in 2012 before the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack none ever reached her desk.

However, Blumenthal’s 150 emails reached her desk, Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) said.

Hillary knew the names of al Qaeda but not the name
of the Ambassador.

The US is cursed that the Pentagon and the undocumented
Moslem terroristophile in the White Mosque (helped
by the complicit GOP) is closer to al Qaeda than
the American people (EVEN AFTER THE 911 ATROCITIES).

What boss, worth a pot full of feces, doesn’t give her first reports her email address and phone numbers for emergency contacts?? Good God, in every organisation I’ve worked for, that information was available for my boss up through a couple of levels above him. Indeed, one of the most important parts of every progress review form I’ve seen is, “keeping your supervisor informed.”

Yep didn’t get Steven’s cry for more security. But sure got Sidney’s E-mails and she answered a e-mail in 4 minutes for needed food and supplies for needy Libyans..

Its the classic Clinton, "the buck never got here" defense. I mean, if we take her story at face value (a dubious proposition, I must say), then she should automatically be disqualified to run a freaking car wash, much less be president. Of course, when you layer the lies, the illegalities, and the callous indifference for the welfare of people who serve her, well, why this woman has any credibility to hold high office is totally beyond me.

I don’t really thinks so. I think her extensive travel was her ruse, and her tailor made excuse for not doing her
J O B.

When you delegate your J O B to underlings and you bolt to Air Force II and strap yourself to the under belly of that monstrosity, then you have succeeded in removing yourself from having to know anything, see anything, hear anything or DO anything.

Hillary was never there. And not being there gave her the excuse to build a bubble around her at the State Department, so that it appeared to function in her absence, but she likely never took direct calls from anyone but her staff who fielded every call, knowing she couldn’t possibly know what the hell was going on.

She never showed up for work in the sense of owning her job, never accountable, never consequential, never responsible.

Hillary is very good at trying to appear important, to speak as if she were a sage and to convince rubes that she is terribly “smart”.

She is right out of the Chicago Way, if you ask me— incompetent and thuggish, a real sloth. With perks.

Herridge On Cable Month Before Benghazi Attack: "Smoking Gun Warning Here"

There was no surprise about the attack. There was no 'failure of intel.' The attack was predicted in precise detail a month before it occurred. The draw down of security had to be intentional.

CIA Sources: Obama ordered military not to help Ambassador Stevens

The failure to approve a rescue had to be intentional.

Sources: Key task force not convened during Benghazi consulate attack

Keeping the Counterterrorism Security Group (CSG) in the dark about the attack had to be intentional.

Tweeting apologies for the 'anti-Muhammed video' beginning early that morning, repeatedly blaming all the violence at all of our embassies on the 'video' and making an apology video to air in Pakistan had to be intentional.

Stevens presence in Benghazi on 9-11 had to be intentional.

Okay, let's say that Ambassador Steven's requests for additional security went to lower level staff as Hillary claims. Now, how incompetent are so many as to not suggest the requests go up the chain-of-command to the SoS?

Really? No one thought to inform the Secretary of State that an Ambassador is crying for help as Libya was self-destructing? Not buying it. Hellery is responsible for the entire debacle and an honorable person would have resigned.

Like one on the committee asked, "did your fire anyone?". Of course, Hillary gave a parsed answer. She could have avoided the whole matter if she had fired someone, but no, she has to be a clinton and lie and lie. She, like her corrupt, womanizing, traitorous (think China) spouse can never admit wrong doing.

"We are the World, we are the family...blah, blah, blah...we love you and will show you...when we erase liberty".

She testified that Chris Stevens did not have her email address and therefore, none of his emails came directly to her. Why didn't someone on the committee ask her: "Is the reason that Mr. Stevens didn't have your email address because you had a private server and not a .gov email account?" She didn't give out her email addy to just anyone. They had to be in the circle or they would have questioned the lack of a .gov email address.

Do you think Stevens had her email but she scrubbed it all? Sorry, if it sounds like a dumb question.

I would say that that is quite likely. No blood on Lady MacBeth’s hands.
